Mr Joel's Point of View

I walked into the class. It was fucking noisy. I like and dislike this class. They are brilliant but noisy. I jingled the bell before the class came to order.

" Good morning Mr Joel," the class greeted.

" Morning," I replied with an all serious look.

" We are sorry," the class apologised.

I like them fit this too. They are apologetic.

" You don't have to be," I said smiling," Yes, you have to be," I almost shouted.

" Same Mr Joel," the class laughed.

That has been our way of ending any misunderstanding between us. I guess I am their best teacher.

" This morning I am teaching you a topic: Inductance," I said.

" Inductance? What is Inductance?" Mabel asked.

" Who can answer that?" I questioned.

Some of the students raised their hands. I chose a boy.

" Yes Joseph," I said.

" Inductance is the property of an electric circuit that causes an electromotive force," Joseph answered.

" You are almost correct but almost is still a fail," I said.

Joseph sat.

" Anyone else?" I asked.

Allison raised her hand.

" Ok. Let's hear you out," I said.

" Inductance is the property of an electric conductor or circuit that causes an electromotive force to be generated by a change in the current flowing," Allison responded.

" Well, that is ........," I paused.

I could see anxiety in the students' faces. Allison looked sure of her answer but she was still nervous.

" That is a correct answer," I replied.

" Cheers Allison," the class thumbs Allison.

Allison smiled.

" The Système International Unit, that is, the SI Unit is the name of a student," I said.

" Who? Me? Allison?" the class became noisy again.

I had to jingle the bell harder before there was total silence.

" The SI Unit is Henry," I said," Where is Henry?" I questioned.

Henry's Point of View

" I am right under the desk," I said.

Everyone looked in my direction. I could see the surprise on Allison and Brayon's faces. I guess I will have to do much explanation after the class.

" Why under the desk?" Mr Joel asked.

" I guess I don't know," I smiled.

Mr Joel continued teaching. I could sense that Brayon and Allison were feeling uneasy. I was sure curiosity is eating them up. At last, the bell was jingled for lunch. I ran out of the class before either Brayon or Allison could stop me.

I ordered Brayon and Allison's favourite food. I knew they would be on their way to the cafeteria.

" Where have you been?" Brayon asked.

" Where have I been?" I feigned surprise," I have been in the class," I replied.

" You weren't in the class before. Where were you?" Allison twisted my wrist.

" Please Ally," I pleaded.

" Ok but you know you are not allowed to call me Ally," Allison let go of my wrist.

" I just forget a lot," I said.

" Forget next time and get twisted," Allison said.

All this while, Brayon was eating. I guess he is very hungry.

" Brayon is too hungry to join our conversation," I said.

" I was awaiting your reply," Brayon said.

" Arrghhhh," I grunts.

" Tell me where you were. You got me worried," Allison said.

" While I was coming to school, I didn't take the normal route. I took another route entirely," I replied.

" So?" Brayon raised an eyebrow.

" It was a long way. A very long way. I almost got lost. I had to turn back to take the normal route to school," I said.

" That served you right," Brayon said.

" Yeah," Allison laughed," Why was your phone switched off? How did you enter the class unnoticed?" Allison asked.

Brayon's Point of View

I wanted to ask that question. Since Allison has asked, I await Henry's answer.

" I put my phone in flight mode because I know you guys will call me but I wanted to go on an adventure," Henry smiled.

" Ok. Then tell us how you entered unnoticed," I asked.

" I flew the window, crawled till I got under my desk," Henry said.

" You are lucky," I smiled.

" Lucky me," Henry smiled.

" Ally told me something in the morning," I said.

" You aren't allowed to call me that," Allison twisted my wrist.

I wished I had seen that coming.

" What did Allison tell you?" Henry asked curiously.

Allison's Point of View

" I'll tell you myself," I said.

" I can't wait to hear it," Henry was excited to hear what I had to say.

Brayon continued eating his meal.

" While I was coming to school this morning, a cowboy kissed me," I said.

Henry frowned but he quickly hide it with a smile; I had seen it already anyway.

" Is he your boyfriend?" Henry asked.

" I don't know who the hell he is," I replied.

" Well?" Henry shrugged and smirked.

I like that look on him. Let's talk about me a little. Brayon, Henry and I have been friends since our childhood. They are my best friends. I also got another friend who is a female. Her name is Janet. You'll get to know her later.

I have a crush on Henry or I rather say I love Henry. I don't know if he loves me too but he doesn't like it when I talk about other boys in his presence.

Henry's Point of View

I hated the fact that Allison had to tell me about the cowboy who kissed her. I love her but I don't know how to express my love for her; I am afraid it might affect our friendship. She shouldn't have mentioned the cowboy's kiss now I am pissed off. I tried to conceal my anger and I guess I succeeded.

" I want to use the restroom," I said.

Allison and Brayon nodded. I left. I went to the restroom. I let out my anger. I frowned, banged my leg, washed my face, towelled it and went back to the cafeteria.
